They really ought to. I’d love to see both the real San Dimas High and the real San Dimas landmark Raging Waters park (called “Waterloo” in the movie) featured.

Party on, dude.

Aha! I was about to say, “actually,” but then I learned St. Dimas is just an alternate spelling of St. Dysmas, patron saint of thieves. Did the writers ever cash in on this opportunity?

on a recent trip driving east out of LA along the old route 66, i was driving past San Dimas, and took a detour to track down the Circle K. There actually is one! Unfortunately it’s not the one filmed in the movie. Looks like it was mostly filmed in Arizona: https://sites.google.com/site/80sfilmlocations/Film-List/bill-ted-s-excellent-adventure-1987

Came here for this. Thank you, good sir!

I heard about the movie being mostly shot in Arizona too but from a dead mall video

I will admit to you, anonymous internet friends, that… when ever I have driven through San Dimas (which has not been too frequently) I raise my fist and yell: SANDIMASHIGHSCHOOLFOOTBAL RULES!!
